 The loving outreach of Friends for Survival can bridge the gap between despair and renewed hope. Those whose loss is recent can lean upon the shoulders of those who have made progress in the difficult task of working through grief after a suicide death.  


Support Group Meetings

We share our struggles with grief after a suicide death. We share our frustrations and questions.  We take this journey together as we help each other cope. 


Our meetings are peer support, not therapy sessions. 

They are free and you are invited to attend for as long as you need.  Please contact our office at 800-646-7322 for meeting specifics or sign up here.  Our newsletter also lists our monthly meeting information. 

WE ARE COMFORTING FRIENDS

  Our free newsletter provides a consistent source of support and encouragement for thousands of survivors coping with a suicide death.  


It is designed to be a support meeting in print, and you can read it in the privacy of your home whenever you need hope and understanding.   It encourages each of us to pace our grief while giving us a sense of connection to the larger community of fellow grievers.  


 Choose how you would like to receive our monthly newsletter -  by regular mail or email.
